vessel flying no cOlOrS was seen of the coast one
evening In July last. She was lost sight of in the
gale and darkness, and the next morning the beach
was strewn with wreckage. 1t is believed that the
vessel was American and bound to CallaO. Some
OF the wreckage was marked in such a manner
that 1t might be possible to identify the Ship The
fact that no boats were found ashore is regarded

vivors, II there were any, could not have made q
landing on FOrmOSa.
